Russel, If your goal is to set up an automated beacon on the 10 meter band, then you're ok as per Part 97.203. It looks like your out of luck if you want to test propagation using your own beacon on the lower HF frequencies without being present in the shack.
That being the case, why not call CQ instead of broadcasting a one way beacon? You'll pretty much gain the same knowledge about propagation and make a contact in the interim! If your interests are strictly propagation, there's always the NCDXF beacons. They are in continuous operation 24/7 on 14100.0, 18110.0, 21.150.0, 24.930.0 and 28.200.0. Good luck with your endeavors...
